He emphasized:
A highly skilled workforce is essential to effectively support the uptake of sustainable electric transport, and the University of Debrecen’s strong track record is a guarantee of this.”
Zoltán Szilvássy, Rector of the University of Debrecen, said that multinational companies coming to Debrecen can rely on the institution as a source of knowledge for research, development, and innovation, as well as a human resource base. Their basic principle is to establish a relationship with the large companies settling in Debrecen that can be fruitful for both parties, especially for the players in the automotive sector, he added.
As they mentioned, CATL Debrecen signed an agreement with the Vocational Training Center of Debrecen in February to launch dual training, and in June it also agreed on strategic cooperation with the University of Miskolc, under which the company will participate in the practical training of students, the development of university curricula, and support the scientific and research activities of the institution.
